Would also note that EVs are massively easier to build than ICE vehicles.

Then why are so many legacy ICE manufacturers struggling so badly with manufacturing and production at scale?

Because scaling any car manufacturing business is hard and developing an EV is still a hell of a lot harder than releasing the next model of whatever ICE car you've been iterating on for a century.

Because it’s still hard. Just not permanent incumbency hard like it was for IC engines.

We will probably see EVs continue to see successful new entrants with a diverse set of players pushing down prices and increasing the number of options for consumers while keeping any single manufacturer from achieving dominance.

VW isn't struggling, it is the biggest EV manufacturer in Europe.

But still not easy. Look at the dicey early examples of any Tesla for example..
